Post photos of both sides of the entire coin.
What you've posted is not enough to be able to help you.

 

What your piece IS is a small date proof 1970. Note where the upper terminus of the "9" points. Remember that ALL proof coins are STRUCK twice. This may just be a coin that shifted in the collar between strikes.

By the way, being a small date adds MORE value than being some minor double.

 

I also thought small date, but the point on the 9 is not sharp. Need to see how LIBERTY is struck

 

This is the LIBERTY

 

OP, you need to check the variety sites .
Before you take your images .

But I'm that good and it's Coneca DDO-012 .

Wow that really is it! You know what the trippy thing is.. i bought 4 proof sets at an auction. And Now by looking at the Website you showed me. It looks like i may also have the 71s and 72s Cent DDOs.. its hard to tell on the 71s but i can see a difference on the Re-Engraved Bow tie.. Btw Thanks so much for helping out

 

Anytime and here's the rest of the variety sites .

Rick if you got time, would you help me verify this 1971 S real quick. i cant seem to notice major doubling. Just Minor on letter IN and T in Trust.The other noticeable thing i see diffrent from my other proofs is the Re-Engraved Tie. Is it a DDO ? Thanks in advance rick!

 

I couldn't match that one up to any of the variety sites ones .
First thing I had to do is match the mint-mark placement up .

Which I couldn't do ..

 

If the 71 has the Re-Engraved bowtie .
I need you to check the Designers Signature and the stairs .





The first two images are RDV-002 .
And the last image is RDV-008 .

i took some images. Maybe it just isnt a true DD.

 

Are you able to shoot entire obv and rev images. They would surely help.

 

Will this work?

 

It's really hard to tell. I like Rick was mainly looking for the re-engraved tie.

Here's your image of the FG .

 

Max, your 1970-S proof IS a small date - ZERO doubt in my mind. I would buy it as one. I don’t think it’s a DD, but is absolutely a small date.

 

Hi Kurt, Would it worth sending it out to grade or just keep it? im not sure how much this type of coin would sell for. thanks for your input.

 

IF you can get it for a nice rate, do send it in. It would not be worth sending it in all by itself. Fixed costs are too high. Put it aside in a 2.5"x2.5" flip and wait until you have a bunch to send in. I never send in fewer than 5 coins, and mostly 10 or more.

I recommend setting up one of those short 2.5x2.5 red boxes and marking it "Coins to Be Graded".
